The Bible says, “Without a vision, the people perish.” Without a vision we are just like a paper blown in the wind. Without a vision we don’t know where we are going and thus will never live a productive fruitful life.
A person of vision has an aim and knows where he wants to go. He may not be sure of the best way, but he has a general idea. On his journey will have to make several course corrections, but eventually he will get to his destiny just because he as a vision.
However, it is impossible to reach your vision without provision. You need a means to reach your goal or destiny. Provision is the act of supplying. No matter what your journey you need supply. To drive to Atlanta from Columbus, Ohio, you will need, at least, a car and gasoline. You will also need some money for food and drink. That is what we mean by provision.
To build a successful business, you will need provision as well. It is amazing how many people think they can start a business with no money. They have a mentality that you can be a millionaire without provision. I always tell people, if you need money, you need to find the provision.
Let me ask you a question? Where does you provision come from? The Bible says that it is God who “gives you power to get wealth.” It does not say that God gives wealth, but rather He gives you power or ability to get wealth.
When it came time to pay the temple tax, Jesus didn’t hand Peter the money on a silver platter. Rather he told him to go fishing and the first fish that came up would have a coin in its mouth to pay the temple tax for Him and Peter. You see, God doesn’t have money, but He knows where to find it. Also, Jesus didn’t tell Peter to go hunting for the provision, for Peter was not a hunter. Rather He told him to go fishing because Peter was an expert fisherman. The lesson to learn from this is that there is provision to fulfill your vision; you just need to come to God so He can show you where to find the provision to reach your vision. He will most likely instruct you to use something you already have in your possession to get the provision you need. He also, if you ask Him, may send someone to you with the provision you need or you will come in contact with such a person.
If you are in lack, you must come to the Source of all wisdom and knowledge to find provision that will bring your vision to fruition. That source is God. It is not the Universe, Infinite Intelligence or your Inner Self; rather it is God Himself. God is a person, for we were made in His image and likeness. Come to Him is you are in lack and seek Him for the means of the provision you need to fulfill your vision. This may offend some who don’t believe in God, but I must write the truth. God is awesome and He knows where all to provision you will ever need is located.
So, if you think you can reach your dream, vision, or goal without provision, it will never happen. Seek the Source of all provision and before you know it you will bring your vision to fruition.
